HOLY MOLY JUDGING THIS THING WAS SO HARD.
There were so many good entries, and it took me like an hour even to narrow it down to around 10.
Because I had such a hard time choosing, I added a 4th place. People in 4th place can receive either a chibi fullbody or a single halfbody- their choice.
Anyways, here are the winners plus my reasoning!
1st place - ectoI really love her design, and I can instantly imagine her duking it out with some monsters right beside Sun Jin. While Sun Jin is a disaster, I think Helja/Eldeth would be the perfect "rock" to balance her out. Sun Jin tends to get stuck in her own head, and a strong support like this character is perfect. Not to mention that Helja could probably yeet Sun Jin over a mountain, which Sun Jin would probably lose her mind over.
2nd place - SnowlondonI got really attached to this design?? I love clerics/paladins and this character reminded me a lot of another character that Sun Jin tried and failed to flirt with in the campaign she was in. Again, I can easily imagine her and Sun Jin working together on missions, and I think they have the potential to have a really interesting dynamic. Sun Jin lost basically her entire party at one point trying to defeat a great evil, and abandoned her adventuring career. Maybe this character went looking for Sun Jin to teach her how to defeat this evil, but found a broken person instead. I bet that with the way she's described, she would be persistent enough and persuasive enough to get Sun Jin back out of her shell, and together they could become a great team <3
3rd place - Kageyenova This character design is just,, choice mwah. I love the colors and also the fact that she's an aasimar- the angel demon dynamic is one that I've always loved! Sun Jin would definitely flirt with this character the moment she met her. I think this character would be flattered and flirt back which would basically make Sun Jin go "asdfksajhdfksdjhfsl?!??" I think Sun Jin would get super flustered around her because "a pretty girl thats basically out of my league is flirting with me?? what do?? help??" I think their relationship would be Sun Jin's horrible attempts at flirting at first, but then slowly get a deeper understanding and love for each other overtime.
4th places (not in any particular order)snipsnopsThis design is just heckin cute. She looks like a big fat nerd, and I can imagine Sun Jin being like, "what you reading owo" and this character just infodumping about complex magical theory or something and Sun Jin not getting it at all but happy to listen anyways cuz she likes being around her GF ;o;
camoodle
PIRATE!! Also artificer/bard maybe which is super hecking cool. Analytical lesbian/dumb jock lesbian is a dynamic I can get behind hell yeah. I almost feel like they would have a rivalry at first but then slowly start to fall for one another. I honestly can't continue to think about it for long because I'll want to write like 1000 plus pages of slow burn about them dancing around their own feelings alksjdfhaldjsfhasd
blizardthewizardI just straight up love love love this design! A shifter monk?? How cool is that! I want to make art of Brook right away. I imagine her being sort of tsundere sometimes like a cat if that makes sense? I'm just straight up thinking of catra right now tbh. I am super excited to develop her character more, and I also think that she could almost be antagonistic towards Sun Jin at first, but then slowly warm up to each other :3
HONORABLE MENTIONS!! (also not in any particular order)roamerbird's:
I have a soft spot for half orcs, and I think a druid combined with sun jin being a ranger might be really cool! She's also super pretty hh

Dragonheart48:
Again, half orcs. She looks stronk and strong ladies always make me happy uwu. I think her personality would also be a great fit with Sun Jin.

jace.wy:
SUPER BEAUTIFUL LADY!! I love her design a lot. The straps are neat, and then also the art of her and sun jun you did was amazing ;-;

Lord Zephyr:
Pure,, just... so pure??? She looks so soft and i want to protect her at all costs. I love her hair and the way you drew her.
Thank you to everyone who entered! I really loved looking at all your guys's drawings. I will be PMing the winners about prizes soon.
Also just a reminder that those who didn't win may keep their characters they've made, and I'm also working as hard as I can on the portraits for those who entered. You can see whose I've completed at the bottom of the first post on this thread.
PM me or comment with any questions or concerns <3 Love you guys
